Jan Wallen, author of Mastering LinkedIn in 7 days or Less offered tips on how to use LinkedIn to find clients or jobs in record time

According to Jan, your LinkedIn profile functions like a sales and marketing piece and a personal web site. Her #1 & #2 tip:

► Join LinkedIn – it’s free

► Create a compelling profile that differentiates you from others

Jan also advises:

► Announce what you’re working on to your network and change this daily

► Advise your network of your services (or job qualifications)

► Write recommendations for those you trust, and request recommendations from those familiar with your work. Be sure they are results-oriented. Both parties must be members of LinkedIn

► Use your headline to indicate how you can help

► Customize your link by editing out what LinkedIn assigns you and substituting you name, all lower case, no spaces

► Add the link to your LinkedIn Profile in your e-mail signature and business cards

► Change your profile, and a notice goes out to your network

► Search for people, jobs, answers or companies

► Get introduced to people you want to meet if someone you know will introduce you

► Answer a question and earn points if yours is judged the best answer
